R I C H A R D M A R Z:
I have over 19 years experience as a designer and creative director in the arts and entertainment industries, I've art directed photo shoots for many of Hollywood’s biggest talent, including Gwen Stefani, Carmen Electra, Milla Jovovich and Salma Hayek. As a computer artist my Photoshop skills are unmatched, being able to take any raw image and make it look absolutely freaking perfect.
I've lived in Paris and New York City, prospering as an artist, muralist and art teacher. There I was engaged to a fashion model with Elite Model Management and had the luck to observe the fashion industry up close and personal. I would be on photo shoot sets with my fiancée watching Pamela Hanson or Marco Glaviano doing their thing, or I'd be behind the scenes in the Louvre during the Paris Fashion Shows and say to myself, "How the FU*K am I allowed in here!?” All this experience is brought on set with me. I guess what I'm saying is, I know what the Hell I'm doing! LOL
A few things you MUST know about me.
1.) I’m a complete tard…I mean, I’m nerdy, goofy and funny as FU*K…you’ll have a blast working with me.
2.) I’m not some fat and smelly guy that lives in his mom’s basement and stalks models on the Internet. I'm not here to find a “date." This is my job and I'm VERY professional about it.
“Richard is a photo god. Honestly, his is some of the best work I have done. His images are so high quality that they have ruined me for working with other photographers! The ability for Richard to think outside of the box and create art with almost every shot is what makes him so unique. His images make you completely stop and think. I love going back to those photos that he and I did. It reminds me of a day when I truly felt liberated and like I was creating something, which represented me as the strong woman I am. I rarely get to do that. You will thank yourself.” —Charisma Lane, San Francisco, CA
